On his way to Gusu Prison with Qiu Yunxuan and Kong Ruoruo, Ye Xiu sent a text message to Qing Luan. So, by the time he arrived, a burly, imposing middle-aged man was already waiting at the prison gate.
"Are you Prison Warden Wei Mingli?" Ye Xiu asked, extending his right hand. "Hello, I am Ye Xiu!"
Wei Mingli certainly knew who Ye Xiu was; in fact, every official did. However, Ye Xiu addressing him so formally and even initiating a handshake left him feeling unexpectedly honored.
He quickly grasped Ye Xiu's hand and said apologetically, "I only just received news of your visit. My apologies for the inadequate welcome and the lack of preparation. Please forgive me!"
This scene left Qiu Yunxuan and Kong Ruoruo utterly astonished. They could see that Wei Mingli was extremely nervous in front of Ye Xiu, behaving exactly like a subordinate before a leader.
Could it be that Ye Xiu, aside from being the Medicine King of Huaxia, also has another identity? they wondered.
